This Smooth Built Up Roof was in the beginning stages of breaking down. We don't understand why roofs were ever designed to be black. A black roof has limited ability to fight the harmful Ultraviolet Rays the sun puts out every day and in most cases, they degrade prematurely. To make matters worse, the heat from the black roof ends up inside the building, causing either increased energy costs or just an extremely hot interior if the building isn't air conditioned. This building owner contracted us to apply our system on his roof to make it last longer and cool it down.
First, as always, we power-washed the roof with more than 3,000 psi to make sure the roof was extremely clean. We then applied one coat of the primer to make sure our top coats adhered to the roofing material. Often times, at this point, we would begin the waterproofing stage of our system, but this roof was caught before the leaks began. In this case the building owner was only using our system for preventive maintenance, so we then sprayed two coats of acrylic top coat to form a bright white seamless membrane to make sure this customer's roof lasted for years to come.
